Add additional GB to your BSNL Broadband plan easily. BSNL in India offers unlimited broadband plans, some of these plans after certain data limit i.e Fair usage Policy gives you low speed throughout the month. You need to wait for the next month to get higher speed as per your plan, which no longer the case these days.

Top Up BSNL broadband after FUP

BSNL now lets you top-up your broadband on demand to increase speed whenever you feel necessary. When you exceed FUP, a page will open automatically in default web browser on your computer and lets you add additional data in GB (check the screenshot below) — bookmark that page, so you can restore speed on demand whenever needed — you’ll be billed for that in the next month.

TIP: You can also use BSNL’s popup (bookmarked) page to check your broadband usage like how much remaining.

If you don’t want to upgrade, click on ‘Decline’ button which lets you use broadband at reduced speed till the beginning of next month.

You need to restart your modem: just unplug the modem or router power cable and wait for 30 seconds, connect it back again.

We’re giving some links for you try out below. This is important: Before adding bytes, ensure the page is showing your username (you’re logged in as ‘<your username>’) which you used to connect to BSNL broadband.

If you’ve bookmarked the page, visit that page again and try to do the topup again. It works. If you’ve not bookmarked the page, try the links mentioned in the article to reach that page in the browser. Hope that helps you Vikas.

Its for that month only, you can do it or not, its your choice. If you download larger size file downloads in the beginning of month, and when you get slower speeds in middle of month after fup, you can use that option, we should welcome, no need to criticize BSNL for this, or upgrade to higher plan if you can afford.

I have rs 1300 unlimited plan which promised to give 2 mbps speed after exhaustion of high speed. But the speed I am getting after exhaustion is absolutely unworkable. So I am compelled to top up even after selecting a costly plan. But the worst part is that their service is so crappy, I am getting a warning from my browser “connection not secure”. Now I am not going to enter my bank details when there is slightest chance of tampering going on. So now I am stuck with my mobile phone internet till the end of month. BSNL sucks! Whatever you do, it will still suck.

Your question is not clear, for topup you’ll get additional data and you’ll be billed in the next billing cycle for this, if once that data also utilized then you’ll be fall back to post fup speed. Has your doubt cleared? Ask me freely.

What are the procedures after pressing upgrade button? I accidentally pressed upgrade and then pressed decline button. Then restarted the modem. (Had to press decline and restart modem 2 or 3 times for it to work). Now I have upgraded speed which I don’t need. How can I revert to normal/base speed of plan?

Pressing upgrade won’t help, you need to select data size and proceed for topup, clicking upgrade and decline without that has not made any changes to your plan speed.Check the video posted in the article and understand how to do top up.

Its impossible to upgrade without selecting the topup option. BSNL doesn’t upgrade your speed unless you pay money, they’re not offering free service. Just letting you know the recent speed changes across all plans: 2 MBPS is the minimum speed available to all plans across India, no matter which you plan you use and starting from this August 1st, the post-fup speed has been increased to 1MBPS from 512 KBPS. This has been applied to all plans.

^”and starting from this August 1st, the post-fup speed has been increased to 1MBPS from 512 KBPS”
Ahh, so that must be it. I haven’t read that news anywhere. Would’ve been nice if you had included that information in the article. I have 512KBPS unlimited plan. So I was confused between topping up my plan and the coincidental change in their base plan speed.
I was wondering why it didn’t go back to 512KBPS. (Although Speed tests show its between 1&2MBPS atm, as opposed to 1MBPS). And I’m guessing there is no way to opt out of top ups once you have done it. Anyway thank you.

Actually, BSNL hasn’t officially announced about it in public, they’ve done that quietly. Some third-party sites have covered this information without official announcement. That’ why we have not covered that as well. But this is definite improvement in speed and some users no longer need to topup if post fup speed is 1MBPS I feel.

I have declined the top up option but it is not giving me any option to continue with the reduced speed after that. Please help.

Chill! Unless you’ve not the chosen the topup option, your connection speed won’t be upgraded and you won’t be charged. If you’ve missed hitting decline button, it will reappear later and prompts to you do topup again. Don’t worry. Then choose decline option, power off modem and replug it.

Hi, I declined the topup and see the reduced speed.
now I want to upgrade within the same month. is it possible? if I try, it’s not allowing saying request cannot be processed at this time.
can you please advise what needs to be done?
